Description

This is to verify that Anaconda installation works over a serial console and the installed system uses it as well. Because computers with serial ports are very scarce today, this test case will describe testing in a virtualized environment, where we can easily emulate that. However, if you have a bare-metal hardware that support serial connections, you can use it instead.

Setup

Install a virtualization software that supports serial console emulation. The following instructions are related to virt-manager.

Prepare any non-live installation media (anything except Live.iso).

Prepare a virtual machine in virt-manager and attach the installation media, but don't start it yet.
